[PATCH 1/4] samples/kretprobes: Fix return value if register_kretprobe() failed

From: Tiezhu Yang
Date: Sun Oct 24 2021 - 23:31:25 EST


Use the actual return value instead of always -1 if register_kretprobe()
failed.

E.g. without this patch:

# insmod samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.ko func=no_such_func
insmod: ERROR: could not insert module samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.ko: Operation not permitted

With this patch:

# insmod samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.ko func=no_such_func
insmod: ERROR: could not insert module samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.ko: Unknown symbol in module

Fixes: 804defea1c02 ("Kprobes: move kprobe examples to samples/")
